Join Maggie for a day of yoga and spiritual connection in beautiful surroundings and in the company of like-minded people. Our theme is Cultivating Timelessness.  Most of us have hectic lives, a long to-do list, and the feeling of being one step behind. This day, in the nurturing and close to nature setting, offers the space to stretch time, while cultivating awareness of the Present Moment.  The Present Moment is Eternal.  When we experience it, we are not hurried, we can savor all that arises.  On this day we calm the mind, open the heart and find internal peace.   We heal not only ourselves, but those around, and the world at large.  Yoga asana leads into a deep well of connection to the soul.  We linger in this state, allowing our very cells to integrate and vibrate in this exquisite state of Being. We cultivate Contentment and Gratitude. We send this message through our own being  out into the Universe.

 

Supported by the outer beauty of the Casa de Maria grounds, we explore the Soul's Longing through  Alone-Time.  We connect with the sacred earth directly through our feet and recharge ourselves with Earth's rich energy.  We follow the Alone Time with  community and through sharing,  enriching ourselves and the others. 

 

 Program for the day.

·         Yoga intensive: (9.00am to 11.30 am). Our yoga practice will be richly textured with asana, pranayama, and meditations on our theme.  All levels of experience accommodated. We focus on experiencing the poses internally, rather than striving for the perfect outer form.

·         Lunch: A wonderful buffet of most deliciously healthy foods.

·         Time of Silence to simply Be:  Explore the grounds.  Book a massage, Journal, Draw with art materials provided,  Hike the adjoining mountain path.

·       Pooling our Wisdom  - Discussion and processing on our theme.

·      Yoga Nidra. (3.30-4.00 pm)  We practice an advanced Tantric technique that takes you into a deep state of relaxation, just above the level of sleep.  It is an experience not only of rejuvenation and healing, but also helps shape your destiny as you seed your intention at the deepest level of consciousness.
